Nokia C3 - 00 — malfunctioning 6 month old mobile phone | |||
My mobile handset(Nokia C3-00) which is just about 6 month old was malfuntioning - lacking in clarity and volume on both outgoing and incoming conversation. I had taken it to a Nokia Care centre where the problem was identified. Apparently the two microphones have been damaged due to severe corrosion. The service centre mentioned that ingress of "liquid" was reason for this damage which is not admissible under warranty. While the mobile has not been dunked in any "liquid", probably moisture or seepage of perspiration was the reason. However the micrpophones are not fully shielded from exposure to external environment and with high humidity level in a city like Kolkata it is expected that the design of the product and quality of components should be resistant to such conditions ( at least during the tenure of the products warranty period + extended warranty period i.e 1+1 year). Anyway I agreed to the estimated cost of around Rs 850/- for repairing the set. However while preparing the documents they mentioned a clause that there is risk of total damage to the set during the course of repair for which the service centre would not bear any liability. I did not agree to their terms and took the set back without the repairs. My submission is as follows : "A product in which the components have corroded during normal usage well within the warranty period should be replaced free of cost". I seek redressal of this isuue.

Nokia — Malfunctioning of C3 model
I purchased a Nokia C3 mobile phone in Jan 2011.Firstly , push mail was not working.
For that I had to go a service centre a couple of times and got a software upgrade.
Now , phone hangs very often , mailbox doesn't open quickly , alarm starts ringing at midnight !
I went to the service center again and now they say that I should download all data (phonebook , messages , calender etc) and the instrument will be sent to Delhi for software upgrade or repair.( God knows how many days it will take to come back !)
I am thoroughly disappointed , pl suggest what to do .
